Fort Hood on Friday identified the two Apache attack helicopter pilots who died in what the Army called a "mishap" on Tuesday.

Chief Warrant Officer 2 Deontre T. Huey was 34 and was a resident of Killeen, Texas.

Warrant Officer Seth L. Olmstead was 25 and was a resident of Belton, Texas.

“Our hearts and deepest condolences are with the families of the Soldiers we lost Wednesday,” Lt. Gen. Kevin D. Admiral said. “The Army is a family, and a tragedy like this is felt throughout our formations and our community.”

The military has yet to identify the cause of the incident.
